Okara-no-nimono (Traditional Simmered Okara Soup)

27Nov

I had all sorts of leftover okara left when I made yuba, and I didn’t really want to make veggie burgers with it. Also, I like to make traditional foods a bit more than some modern inventions. So this soup sounded like a good idea. A couple days earlier, I had roasted the okara in the oven to dry it before making this soup, but I sort of wish I had made it when the okara was more fresh. The taste was great but the consistency turned out extremely grainy. Unfortunately, I doubt I’ll have any okara sitting around any time soon, or I’d try it again!
